[Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by biomass smoke exposure].
In this article, the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and biomass smoke will be discussed. More than half of the world population uses biomass for fuel, especially in rural areas and in developing countries where usage reaches 80%. Biomass smoke inhalation creates an inflammatory chronic state, which is accompanied by metalloproteinases activation and mucociliar...
متن کاملPulmonary toxicity of chronic exposure to tobacco and biomass smoke in rats
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the separate and combined effects of tobacco and biomass smoke exposure on pulmonary histopathology in rats. INTRODUCTION In addition to smoking, indoor pollution in developing countries contributes to the development of respiratory diseases. METHODS Twenty-eight adult rats were divided into four groups as follows: control group (Group I,...
متن کاملClinical characteristics of tobacco smoke-induced versus biomass fuel-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in clinical features between tobacco smoke-induced and biomass fuel-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 206 patients with COPD caused by exposure to tobacco smoke and 81 cases of COPD caused by exposure to biomass fuels who received treatment in our hospital between 2011 March and 2014 March. Difference...
متن کاملPathogenic mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to biomass smoke exposure.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality and morbidity have increased significantly worldwide in recent decades. Although cigarette smoke is still considered the main risk factor for the development of the disease, estimates suggest that between 25% and 33% of COPD patients are non-smokers. Among the factors that may increase the risk of developing COPD, biomass smoke has been pro...
متن کاملEffect of biomass smoke on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rural localities of Colombia.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the differences associated to the change of biofuel used to cook as a way to estimate the proportion of respiratory abnormalities of respiratory function associated to biomass exposure. METHODS A cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the respiratory function through spirometry in subjects cooking with biomass or natural gas. All patients...
